Crashed my baby, Need advice :(

lilstankid986 · 09-11-2011, 11:30 PM

So I wrecked my 335Xi in an extremely stupid way that I would rather not explain. Anyway, the cosmetic damage is pretty bad on the hood and the bumper. So I was wondering if it would be cheaper to buy a sick after market hood/bumper or to just replace them with OEM?

D335NUTZ · 09-11-2011, 11:38 PM

MAC Attack?

so?confused · 09-11-2011, 11:40 PM

depends if insurance will pay and if your under a lease.
-it be a little more expensive to go after market but youll get the car the way you want it to look.

not sure about PA but over here in ny we have excellent body repair- such as MARTINO auto concept

PM Derek or Joe with your situation.

idrift4wd · 09-11-2011, 11:46 PM

well, if you financed the car. then might aswell buy aftermarket. M3 reps bumper is only 350, hood prolly be 7-800. Buying oem you would need to get it painted anyways.

mjollnir19 · 09-11-2011, 11:47 PM

damn gl bro... best advice from what i've gathered from everyone here is MAC ATTACK

lilstankid986 · 09-11-2011, 11:48 PM

Yes I was gonna say I'm close to Pittsburgh so that's quite out of the way. The accident was just tonight, so I'm not sure what the insurance will pay but the car is preowned and not under a lease

I would find a bodyshop that you know and trust and see if they can get insurance to cover an aftermarket option that is the same value as oem. If not, like on my rear bumper, I had them pay for the stock bumper and covered the 250 dollar difference myself.

It's quite okay, I just wish you guys weren't so far

I know that if I had crashed my car and only needed to replace the hood / bumper... i would go with the MAC for sure.
